Neither can be toasted properly on one toast cycle.
Been through heaps of toasters, the best was a DeLonghi, got a display model cheaper cause it wasn't a cheap toaster.
I read heaps and heaps of user reviews before getting this one.


I think this is because of how they make shop bread, on the rare occasions that stuff has been in a toaster, it burns in no time.

Ours, full browning, takes 2 goes and is just golden.
I find you can see down in the slots to check if you lean over.....don't burn your nose...

But yes, push it down, the timer starts over.....and it's not a mechanical timer, husband took the last one apart to see if he could modify it, nope, it's nothing but a circuit board and some elements.

1462340 2019-07-19 03:21:00 You guys spend over $40 on toasters? Hell...
Mine was dirt cheap and I've repaired it twice now, had it so long I can't actually remember how old it is.


It'd be entirely possible to replace the control circuit and switch with a microcontroller-based intelligent timer and a relay if you were keen, to get that sort of feature, if you really wanted it, but I find that kind of thing is largely unnecessary, once you get a feel for your toaster and the approximate time that various types of breads take to toast, it's easy to predict the right setting anyway.

That takes me back to my early teens in Christchurch :) :)
